The U.S. Secret Service is investigating an online survey that asked whether people thought President Barack Obama should be assassinated, officials said Monday.

The poll, posted Saturday on Facebook, was taken off the popular social networking site quickly after company officials were alerted to its existence. But, like any threat against the president, Secret Service agents are taking no chances.

As the Secret Service should. Things like this are NOT protected Free Speech, as has been ruled time and time again, and certainly not the type of Free Speech the Founders intended.

Evidence that the person who posted the poll was serious, and not a Kilgore Trout-type moby looking to manufacture evidence of hate, and;

if the person who posted created this poll was serious, that mainstream conservative television and radio show personalities are responsible for their views.

Evidence? What need does a lefty have for evidence? THEY have Feelings!

Meanwhile, in other wackadoodle news, Excitable Andy and Mad King Chucky have issues (shocking!) with the Right Wing News poll about the least favorite people on the right. Not sure how they snuck in (I didn’t vote for them,) but, they are all excitable and narcissistic.

Anyhow, wow, it is about as black outside, with major t-storms about to roll through, as a liberal’s heart. And, yeah, I’d like to move on from Chucky and Andy, who are, in Obama’s words, “jackasses,” but, the moonbat gold writes itself.

The guy who made that poll is a tool and should be stored with all the other tools.

Can’t we just go back to taking polls on the Presidents favorite breakfast cereal or something?

The person who made the poll should have just made a movie about it instead. That is perfectly acceptable.

So, is anyone saying that Bush didn’t receive ANY death threats? You had comedians, rock & roll stars and loads Hollyweirdos calling for his death publicly, let alone the number of loons who did so at rallies and other venues. It comes with the territory, and all presidents get them. I think this is hype and BS.
